' was Europe's cry, I ween ; And straightway were enrolled, In battle form, 'gainst Muscovite And Cossack of the Don — The arms of Italy and France, With Britain's— three in one. In Eupatoria's sandy bay One brilliant Eastern morn, A thousand British vessels lay To save the Golden Horn ; They disembarked the ' dogs of war ;' They cowed the Russian Bear ; They crushed the stronghold of the Czar, Who yielded up his lair. And Alma, Balaclava, And Inkerman's dark day, Are remembered, like Sebastopol, Which in dire ruin lay. But should forgotten be these names, In life's incessant round, One famous institution lives, The Crimean war did found. When stormy winter's frost and snows Brought suffering on our men ; Invention formed the CRIMEAN SHIRT, And made them warm again. And thus E. BARNES, in fervid linea Clears from oblivion's dirt The tale of that Great Social Boon— The blessed CRIMEAN SHIRT ! And as E.
